What is the best food brand for Yorkies - Page 6 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hi, I feed Molly Wellness small adult dry food. She recently switched from Wellness' dry puppy food. I also give her both canned Wellness and canned Merrick foods. She also occasionally gets scrambled eggs as well. Plus, she loves her bullysticks as well.

I looked at that site and it lists the Innova EVO on the 6 star list. It's the only food I could get my picky little eater to eat. So this is too much protein for her? How do we tell which ones are too much?

I noticed that most of the foods rated 6 stars are all very high in protein. I am not sure how much protein is too much. Can any one enlighten us?????

My Bailey just turned five months she turned her little nose up at all dry food till I tried Halo she loves it and it is all natural. She also loves scrambled eggs but they are a treat.

I fed my yorkie Science Diet. It comes in soft and wet for puppies. My dog ate it up! In the beginning I fed my little one three small meals a day. Now that he is over one year old he is down to two meals a day. He tells me when he is hungry by going into the kitchen and moving his bowl around. Good luck with your puppy.

Sorry about my last post. It should have read "dry and moist" puppy food.

Ust bought the innova evo today and oh boy she loves it! She started eating it like it was delicious! I'm so happy cuz the other foods I fed before were good but she wasn't excited to eat them. She ate cuz she had to I guess.

It seems like innova evo is a good food for picky eaters.

I got the innova evo small bites with chicken and turkeyplan to buy the innova evo red meat too and see how she likes it. Maybe mixed them up in her bowl.

The guy gave me a gift: scootter dog treats. Is that made in china?

I just switched my baby to innova evo too. She loved it.
What else do you feed her?

sdnylz · 09-12-2009, 04:06 PM

My mom also lives in ver. Small town and I found a pet food store that carry many of the premium foods. I was surprise. Look it up on the Internet. Innova evo is very good in my experience. My picky eater likes it. She was on eukanuba for the first 5 month then I switched her to premium foods.

Hi. Where do I get that raw stuff? Or how so I make it. You baby is really beautiful. Thanks

mydoglovesme · 09-12-2009, 04:21 PM

I just went to the speciality dog/cat store in our area and asked her what was the best dog food for dogs. I told her that I had fed my puppy Science Diet from the time he was five months old. She, shook her head and told me that it wasn't the best on the market...it was just developed by vets. It is full of fillers. She recommend three other "healthy" foods and I chose Natural Balance. When I put the food in front of my special friend he wasn't sure, but I sat on the floor and fed him with a fork and he ate it up. Tomorrow, I will try putting the food on a plate instead of a bowl. But, I really think he will eventually love it and I will be happy knowing that I am giving him something that will prolong his little life. He is the sunshine in my life.

Too much protein usually isn't a concern... If you have a pup with liver, kidney or pancreas disease, your vet may recommend a lower protein diet, but otherwise it's not a concern. The higher protein foods are great diets bc dogs are carnivores. Their bodies were designed to digest high quantity of meat, thus protein.

Hope that helps!

EVO is a very nice food. I have fed it and would recommend it.

CharlieBKboy · 09-13-2009, 04:27 AM

I feed my 5 1/2 old Charlie Eagle Pack holistic select for small breed puppies. It's great. Only drawback is that it isn't sold at the "big box" pet stores (ex PETCO and Petsmart). But I really like what is done for his coat, his smarts, his overall health. I mix it with a little bit of wellness puppy wet food in the mornings.
